Back handers.? Do you refer to the clouts round the ears that you get for not passing applications. My personal opinion of local councils of all types is that the people on them haven't got a bloody clue. Everything that they do is either biased or underhand to get things through on the nod for some reason. I wonder why?? Every village in the south east has become a building site. The local area that I am in keeps passing building permission but when it is appealed the government inspectors turn the applications down and ask why they have even been considered because the area is within an area of outstanding natural beauty.

It all depends on what they might allow trade in.

I note that the two women sitting either side of him at the announcement. The one in a tartan suit had a right face on. A face like a bag of spanners and as if there was a terrible smell under her nose as if he had just been chewing on raw garlic or that he'd **** himself or both. The other one gave him a warm cuddle. The tartan one barely wanted to shake his hand.! Tartan one would be a good match for the ginger one that sits next to starmer with a hatchet face.

I have downloaded an app called "seek" you take a picture of ANY plant or tree etc leaf/flower/bark, and it will inform you of what it is with Latin and English names and all sorts of info about it.

It's not a case of worrying about this sort of thing because we've got no control over any of this but seeing as they only found this asteroid a month ago,! Now considering that Russian one was half the size of the one that went between us and the moon, consider the structural damage that, that one did. The Russin one was an airburst. IF that one had collided with us it could have created a massive sunnamy or completely destroyed a city like London or Manchester. Considering the state of the country's finances regarding everything imagine what effect would have on our lives. It sort of makes packing a bug out bag for the prepers a bit of a non event.

It has been reported that an asteroid is passing between us and the moon today. The asteroid is estimated to be about 90 Mts in diameter which is about the diameter of the hight of Westminsters Elizabeth tower 316 ft which houses Big Ben and is moving at about 17,500 miles per hour. Now they say that they don't totally know what's out there in the blackness and they found this small one ?!!!! About a month ago. OK in this instance it is going to mis us BUT what would have been the planning if it was going to hit us somewhere.? Some may remember a few years ago that a smaller one passed over Russia early one morning. That one sort of burnt out and blew up at altitude but the shock wave blew out windows and damaged buildings etc as it passed over. see YouTube vid, Does anyones household insurance policy cover for asteroid strike or does that come under ACT OF GOD.? if you survived the impact to try a claim. A clip of the one over Russia

I wouldn't have a clue. It's all to many years ago and I never saw any. I was a schoolboy. I did hear about Coopal powder ,,,, whatever that was but never encountered any. I did go through a couple of boxes of Frank Dyke cartridges that were red paper cased It was a time of gytorp, Eley, and then Rottweil, Winchester GB and then Maionccl and SMI. I got into reloading using 80 & 82 series powders using at first a French Nemrod reloader that the girlfriend/wife bought for me. Again we just shot for the pot and fun so we didn't use hundreds of cartridges.

Is all of this about EVERYOÑE HAVING TO HAVE AND CARRY , A national identity card.? Is it because there are so many illegal immigrants floating around in the system. Some years ago I worked with a French bloke and he said to me that before the second world war that Gypsies used to migrate between France and Spain and were sort of stateless. The French decided to give them French nationality status. The French identified them all and issued passports and other documents. All went well until the Germans overran France and the SS rounded up the unwanted and shipped them off to a holiday camp. Is this voter ID a prototype trial of an ID card rollout.?

But did you take down the charging baked bean can with your 416 Rigby.. Gat gun.

I vaguely remember a couple of lads at school using yellow wizard but I never saw any. Most of the ironmongers hereabouts sold Eley grand prix or Frank duke. I 4hen went over to Winchester GB's and Rottweil. Remember back then that we just didn't get through that many cartridges. We would get out every weekend for walk up. Rabbit, ducks ...various pheasant, partridge, pigeon the odd woodcock. We would split the drive's up and walk and stand for Fox. Basically I had a dog and walked, but I got a fair bit of game that the dog put up coming back over. I was well happy and the occasional odd Charlie would try to slip back also. I used to use #6...#7 and had a couple of BB,s in the pocket. I might shoot 10 or 15 cartridges of an afternoon. Maybe 30 to 40 if decoying. The kill ratio was pretty good

How long does the system take to churn out one of these vòter ID certs.

What ..! Are you sayjng that a shotgun or firearms cert as issued by plod ain't worth the paper its printed on.? But you can use them to buy cartridges and weapons. Good job I've got a photo ID driving license and a passport.

Thanks for that. If you can use it as you state abroad that would be usefull to have sometimes. What about the bus pass.? Do they accept that. 😊😀😁😆

sorry, i dont understand. What have you applied for. .?

Yes they wern't very accommodating. One day I was passing through and I dropped in and asked if it would be ok to have a quick look at the layout.. ( I didn't have a gun with me as I was on business) Nahh ... if your not shooting you can't see the layout.?? what.? I didn't argue the point. Their loss. Several other people have said similar things. What year was that there. I never saw it and have never heard of its existence .

A bus pass.?? It's pretty pathetic that someone can just fill in a form and apply for a bus pass and that is accepted. All of the hoops that we have to jump through to get one AND PLOD ACTUALLY COMES OUT TO YOUR HOUSE. Anyway what about the 25yd swimming certificate. Not that I'll bother to turn out. Ps I do have a passport and a driving license which do quantify as acceptable photo I'd.

Amongst lots of different forms of acceptable photo ID that you now need to show to vote. A firearms or shotgun certificate is not accepted.?? Bus pass is ok. Lots of random things but not a firearm or shotgun cert. SO has basic asked why these are not acceptable to vote in the local borough council elections. ...... turnout for these elections is pretty low as it is. Is there a massive voter fraud that needs regulation.? Seeing that about 2 old boys and a dog turn out for local elections, I imagine that the turnout % will be pretty poor. Do you think that a 25yd swimming cert might be acceptable. ?

I bought an AyA xxx 12 gauge and a 20 gauge Ignacio Urgachea from there BUT they moved from there out to the clay ground out in Sturdy and that shut last year. They sold it off for a housing development. More quick profit. Going going gone. I was going on the price of the cartridges.

Ha ha. Donkeys years ago a friend and his mate were out in the back garden with their air guns and a blue tit was perched on the washing line. Matey ups with his gat gun and drops the blue tit.!!!! The woman next door was at the kitchen sink and saw the event.!!!! She comes storming out and accuses matey boy of murdering the poor defenseless bird.... matey picks the bird up gives it a couple of strokes.? He says to the woman that the bird is just laying down having a rest. 😁👍. Look he says as he throws the bird up in the air. Suddenly the bird fired up on all cylinders and flew off down the garden to land in a tree. "There yar", says matey to the woman. It was just avin a snooze. She replied that he was a wicked little sod and that the would be having a word with his father about it. Matey boys father did get an ear bashing about it and matey was told not to do it again. I bet that the blue tit had been layed out and had come to. It probably had a bit of a headache. Blue tit at 5 paces. Lethal weapon.

Deadly on those big black spiders at 5 paces. 😊😊😊.

Possibly 1968 ...69. Years ago Geenfields in Canterbury was a GOOD gunshop. BUT later times it wasn't worth crossing the doorstep. They hadn't got a clue. I went in there for cartridges and got asked if I wanted fisherman's waders.?? NO cartridges says I.... The sales person asks another one..... do we sell cartridges.? ..?? We got fishing rods says his mate. Very slippery slope...

Quote......Putins Russia invasion is going to go down as one of the most successful military operations in the last 80 years. What as.? the most effective way to dispose of a load of junk military eqpt and reduce the population. AND to show the world how not to conduct a military campaign. Also it might have failed to register that vast amounts of modern military hardware is being constantly being supplied to Ukraine and that despite throwing tens of thousand of conscripts and gaol prisoners to their deaths. when it drys out a bit and the Ukraine forces advance how long do you think that the rag tag and two bob Russian army will last before they turn tail. the game will soon be afoot .

There is a woman near me that spends time walking the local roads picking the rubbish out of the hedges and the grass verges. She collect bags and bags... bin liners of residue. It is people leaving the village that are chucking it out of car windows..... in each outgoing direction the rubbish is mainly noticable on the left hand side ..... so it is being dumped by people on the left hand side of cars..... the passengers who are leaving the village to go somewhere. They get anywhere from about 300 yards and launch the cans / bottles out the window. Still the councils don't help by not taking stuff and charging a fortune for stuff taken to the tip. Our council charges £40 a year for the Brown bin for the garden waste and that is on top of the rates to take the other bins of recycling stuff. They recon that it costs them.. I know of a bloke that weighs in about 2 tons of nails, screws and other metalwork from scrap wood that goes for wood pellets. The nails,screw money is cash money and goes into his pocket / pensions. There's money where's there's muck.

So where have all these gems of proven data sprung from. ? Have you actually watched the footage because the incident happened in broad daylight.

Seeing as this situation had been go in on for over half an hour it's hardly surprising the the main camera which is housed in a ball turret under the chin would be turned round towards the two jets that had been harassing the drone and dumping fuel over it. Does Russia need to be painted bad again after the atrocities and war crimes that have been dumped on the Ukrainian people.
